Drive Home 03:42
There is so much more I'm aware But I swore I'd never go there To hold against // it isn't fair I'm still learning what it means to share It's snowing just a little on my drive home You said, "pray, wait, hope" I said "how long am I waiting for?" You said "until you know" There are absences in scenery I can't remember, it's escaping me Shouldn't I be more afraid? I forgot but i'm not standing brave Unfolding what's important What's important anyway? As I focus on feeling Feeling today
2.
Oh, Familiar 03:15
Oh, familiar I'm making room inside This cluttered place you occupied Oh, cascaded Building up to stay alive These notions I'll cast them aside I got so close to fearing So it's not just my believing I's now set on leaving All the ones that needed healing You still are the one that's stealing I no longer feel your breathing I know time brings changing season Hard heart, no longer freezing Oh, departure Leaves changing on my mind They always tend here to arise Oh, the former I'm looking forward redefined I'm leaving all this behind
3.
You couldn't put it down It's all you could think about There is a hurricane love & nothing Could tear you down It's alright If I keep thinking i'll think myself out Turn off the lights Really all they ever do is doubt Tonight Could I really ever live without But you're right If I put it up you won't put it out There is a peace that passes Your own understanding There's a blurred line When i'm making strides I'm wasting You're waiting For me I'm shaping You're chasing At least
4.
On My Sleeve 04:10
Sometimes I feel so in control & love is just so natural But to carry it in my soul Proves harder yet for me to hold My heart, I'll wear it on my sleeve Pour it out, carry me Swaying, delicate symmetry I let these things come naturally What i'm trying to figure out What me must construct exactly & what is supposed to come So easily
5.
Some Time 04:54
This is innocent speculation We're just takin', we're takin' what we're given Is this what they're taking about When they say that there is division Some time, some time has passed me by Some time, some time until I try Some time, that we're alive Some time, some time has passed me by Sufjan's wailing in the back As I pull all these ideas together There's nothing left that we haven't checked This new direction, half hearted affirmation Now things aren't materializing Mostly over I won't even try I think it's better now to simplify I think it's better now to simplify
6.
Put it on, so I can feel it Bring it all back, so I don't lose it So I can remember I don't miss it These songs the correspondence But I can't lose it You've already proved that You make your room, you excavate it You can't start building until you tear the walls down The ones we build, blood sweat and tears They all came down, not how we planned it It's not how I wanted it, But what do I know I couldn't live without it, I know When the snow starts to melt I'll take notice It feels so far away tonight I want to let it go These songs the correspondence
7.
You're always waiting I can count on that anticipating I can expect that You're on the look out You're on the look out Somehow you find your way You make it here anyway & maybe that's a good thing Maybe that's Him building Now you only look past You're never looking back I never gave you a chance You're never looking back
8.
Lift 02:08
I want to hear You I want to feel You Closer hold me closer keep me still Fill me completely // Complete You I call to You I'll hide myself in You I'll be made new I'll lift it up to You Closer hold me closer Keep me still Fill me completely // Complete You Oh perseverance must finish it's work I'm sure of what I hope for
9.
These Things 03:19
In the burning house that is your hands I taught myself to understand The way to move and how to be a man The way to move and how to be a man The dark rooms are never dark enough I'm desperate still can't fill me up Nothing seems to wake me up Nothing seems to wake me up And I’m still trying to bleed you out I’m still dying to put you out They say these things take time But God don’t ask for mine In the morning i’ll wake long enough to see The sun’s not up and your waiting there for me I’m still too afraid to disagree I’m still too afraid to disagree Do you think i’d be so careful If it was in the air, no Am I ever gunna really settle? Am I ever gunna really settle?

Too 05:30
To uproot and break down To destroy and over-throw To build and to plant for You For You Oh Lord I call to You; come quickly to me But my eyes are fixed on You Oh Sovereign Lord In You I take refuge Do not give me over to death Keep me from the snares
11.
Rest My Head 04:21
Soon I'll be coming when if feels right I promise Ill come running when the guilt pours in Spring is here & nothing & I have yet to listen I know I shouldn't be so afraid Walking next to him Truly I can't help but hesitate And now I'm reminded I'm dying to burn for you I'm needing your grace Be careful what you wish for He hears what you say I know I shouldn't be so afraid Walking next to him Truly I can't help but hesitate And now I'm reminded My reservations, I'm throwing them away It'll never happen if I don't act today We were drowning knowingly in shame I'm addressing undressing it Tuesday No more trying leaving us afraid I promise, I promise, I promise to restrain I just want to feel I pray I'm asking for an earthquake I'm holding on I'm waiting Till' I can rest my head in your embrace
